Juneteenth celebrates the abolishment of slavery, I’d say people of colour are the most happy about that, and people of colour are stereotypically famous for making good food
4th of July celebrates the US independence, which though not a predominantly a white holiday more white people (on account of being a racial majority) will celebrate it, and white people are stereotypically famous for making bland food
Naw. Mfers up at the break of dawn to start the fire don’t care about that. That’s just some eagerness to support racial stereotypes. All kinds of folks can throw down. If you’ve been to any of them, you know.
Juneteenth does not celebrate the abolishment of slavery. It celebrates the news arriving in Houston. New Jersey had slavery six months after juneteenth. Also it only freed men.
Was it legal to own a slave who was a woman? Did women legally have the same rights as other women, regardless of skin color?
Clearly there weren’t equal rights, just as clearly as the end of slavery didn’t mean the end of racism, but this event is significant enough to stand on its own
Good meme! (I have no clue what any of it means other than the dates)

Idk man French food is pretty good
C’est vrai.
French people are only white in the US
This seems pretty dumb… I don’t typically attribute amazing Mac and cheese to minorities.
Like… Most other foods, sure. But this one? Come now…
The meme is specifically referring to the quality of food at black cookouts versus white cookouts. If you’ve been to both, you know.

It’s okay for black people to be good at something. It doesn’t have to threaten you.
I said everyone is capable of good game. No need for the royal stretch there.
I have been to both, and the stereotypes are wrong. Cooking skill is not inherent to race or culture, it’s within the individual at the stove.
Wouldn’t white cookouts be steak and burgers and that sorta stuff
They’re all kinds of things, and this whole concept is some divisive nonsense. People out here going to bat for racial stereotypes.
Can’t say I’m familiar with that stereotype as it relates to black Americans. Immigrant minorities, sure.
The stereotype of white people making bland food is pretty common in the black community. And adding raisins to potato salad.
I have never heard of raisins in a potato salad and that sounds terrible.
Who is adding raisins to potato salad? I’m so white that my mom raisin pies for dessert and have never witnessed this travesty.
RIP Chadwick Boseman
I don’t think the meme itself is making that particular distinction, moreso just the difference in cuisine in general as a racial stereotype.
The stereotype I always saw was just KFC, watermelon and some purple drink. Maybe it was a bit more aggressive stereotype than what you had in mind
You aren’t invited to the cookout
Me at the cookout
I’ll just order it to-go
Also collared greens.
White => English
All whole people from anywhere else is proud of their food
as both Juneteenth and the 4th of July are American holidays, I referred to American stereotypes about Americans
Juneteenth does not celebrate the abolishment of slavery. It celebrates the news arriving in Houston. New Jersey had slavery six months after juneteenth. Also it only freed men.
I have never seen anything that says the Emancipation Proclamation or the 13th Amendment only freed men. Do you have a source for that?
Did women have the right to vote, to open a bank account, to live without a man controlling them?
Was it legal to own a slave who was a woman? Did women legally have the same rights as other women, regardless of skin color?
